John Henry Lewis (May 1, 1914 – April 18, 1974) was a hall of fame African American boxer who was the world Light Heavyweight champion from 1935 to 1939. Lewis was managed by a gambler and racketeer of the 1930s: Gus Greenlee, a man who became very important to baseball's Negro Leagues as a commissioner and team owner. ==Early life== Born in Los Angeles in 1914 and raised in Phoenix, Lewis was taught to box at age 4 by his father, John Edward Lewis, a former lightweight who ran a Phoenix gym. Boxing was in the family blood, with John Henry's great-great uncle being the noted bare-knuckle brawler Tom Molineaux. By the age of 5, Lewis and his brother, Christy, were battling in exhibition "midget boxing" matches. He turned pro at 14, as a welterweight, and gained a reputation for outstanding speed and increasingly superior boxing skills. Three years later, in 1931, Lewis won his first championship, the Arizona middleweight title, and the following year, still in high school, the "Pride of Phoenix" beat future heavyweight champ, "Cinderella Man" James J. Braddock, at San Francisco's Civic Auditorium.
